Many new people (47%) visit for the first time because someone invited them; only 6% came for the first time due to advertising.

Most new people attending their congregation for five years or less have changed congregations within the same denomination (transfers: 57%). Only 7% are first-timers who are new to the faith. A few (18%) are returnees who used to attend worship but recently have not been involved, and 18% are switchers who changed denominations.

Three strengths are positive predictors of growth — Caring for Children and Youth, Welcoming New People, and Participating in the Congregation.

New people are less involved in their congregations than those who have been there for longer.
